Stars including Midge Ure, Amy Macdonald and Martin Compston will appear in the final series of hit BBC comedy Still Game.
Filming began last week at BBC Scotland’s Dumbarton studios and the six-week shoot will visit locations across Glasgow.
Taggart’s James McPherson, musicians Midge Ure and Clare Grogan as well as DJ and presenter Des Clarke will also appear alongside Jack and Victor, played by Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill.
The Vienna singer said: “This supersedes the OBE. Being in Still Game is like the comedy version of getting a Blue Peter badge which I wear with pride.
“The way I see it, if you’re going to be humiliated it might as well be in a comedy you love.”
Line of Duty actor Compston will play a new one-off character role while Mr Rock and Rock Roll singer Macdonald will make a short appearance.
Still Game made its TV debut in 2002 and returned in 2016 after a nine-year hiatus.
It became the most-watched programme in over a decade in Scotland, attracting more than half of the viewing audience.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
